Gimenez went 0-for-4 with a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in Friday's 7-6 win over the Twins.

Gimenez appears to have a green light on the basepaths currently -- he's logged three steals in four attempts over his last five games. For the season, he's 18-for-21 in steals while slashing .302/.370/.478 through 123 contests.

Gonzalez isn't in the lineup Saturday against Oakland, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Gonzalez is getting a breather after he went 5-for-9 with a home run, a double, four runs, four RBI and four strikeouts over the last two games. Josh Harrison will start at the keystone and bat ninth.

Estrada isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Cubs, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Estrada is getting a breather after he went 0-for-10 with four strikeouts over the last three games. David Villar will start at the keystone and bat sixth.

India went 2-for-5 with a triple, a two-run home run and two total runs scored in Friday's 8-2 victory over the Brewers.

India first reached home on a Kyle Farmer single in the first inning before reaching home again on a ninth-inning homer that also scored TJ Friedl. It was India's 10th home run of the season and his second this month. The second baseman extended his hit streak to three games, including two multi-hit performances, totaling six hits in 15 at-bats. India's is now slashing .269/.337/.424 on the season.

Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Astros on Friday.

Rengifo notched one of five Angels hits in the contest, collecting a single in the seventh inning and following with a swipe of second base. The hit extended the infielder's on-base streak to 16 games, during which he's slashing .299/.309/.448 with two homers, six RBI and a stolen base. After struggling early in the season, Rengifo has worked his way into fantasy relevance with a .306 batting average, nine homers, 33 RBI and five thefts over 66 contests since June 22.

Marte started at second base and went 0-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 13-10 loss to Colorado.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo indicated Marte would get a day off during the three-game set in Denver, which means fantasy managers should expect a day off Saturday or Sunday. The day off is due to Marte's history of hamstring injuries occurring in Colorado, but the manager could also give him a break amid a slump. Marte is hitless over his last four contests.

Andrus went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a stolen base Friday against the Athletics.

Andrus doubled in the winning runs in the ninth inning and then proceeded to steal third base. He now has nine stolen bases on the season, though this was only his second in 20 games with the White Sox. In that same span with his new club, Andrus is hitting .298 with four homers, 17 RBI and 12 runs scored.

Chavis went 1-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored Friday against the Cardinals.

Chavis has had his path cleared as Pittsburgh's primary first baseman with Bligh Madris back at Triple-A Indianapolis and Josh VanMeter off the 40-man roster. Chavis hasn't taken advantage of that opportunity, as he entered Friday's game hitting only .152 with a 43 percent strikeout rate across his last nine games. However, he delivered a two-RBI triple in the eighth inning Friday and now has extra-base hits in each of his last two starts. For the season, Chavis owns a .238/.268/.412 line across 377 plate appearances.

Hoerner went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

Hoerner launched a two-run shot off of Yunior Marte in the sixth inning for his ninth home run of the year. The 25-year-old infielder has gone 7-for-14 (.500) with four extra-base hits over his last four games after snapping a 2-for-24 (.083) skid. Hoerner improved his season slash line to .288/.335/.418 with 18 steals, 49 RBI and 34 extra-base hits through 123 games.

Lux (back) will likely be out until sometime next week, according to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.

According to the report, Lux "probably won't play until at least the (Diamondbacks) series next week," so he likely will not play this weekend and could miss more time beyond that. Lux will not be placed on the injured list, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, but the Dodgers seemingly won't be in any hurry to get him back on the field.
